May 13, 2026
We just covered the Chris Rokos Stock Portfolio: Top 10 Stock Picks and Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) ranks 7th on this list.
Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) has had a topsy-turvy relationship with Rokos Capital Management. The fund first disclosed a stake in the company back in the first quarter of 2019. This position comprised just over 5,000 shares and was sold off by the next quarter. A new position was then opened in the stock in the first quarter of 2021. This comprised just under a million shares and was sold off by the next quarter. Another position in the firm was disclosed in the first quarter of 2024. This comprised over 370,000 shares. Filings for the fourth quarter of 2025 show that the fund owns over 208,000 shares in the firm, down close to 50% compared to filings for the third quarter of 2025.
In Q1 2026, Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) delivered a blowout performance with revenue of $56.31 billion, up 33.1% year-over-year, and earnings per share of $10.44, far exceeding the consensus estimate of $6.67. This growth is underpinned by an 11% increase in ad pricing and a 19% rise in ad impressions, driven largely by AI-enhanced ranking algorithms that have successfully boosted Reels and video engagement, with Instagram Reels time-spent alone increasing by 10% in the quarter. Investors should keep an eye on major catalysts for the shares, which include the successful rollout of the Llama 4 model and the launch of Hatch, an agentic AI assistant.
While we acknowledge the potential of META as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
